Eternity

If you pause for a moment and think, you'd realise that we're all actually standing at the edge of life. No one knows how much time they have left ahead of them. I could well be in my room blabbering this post away and possibly found dead the next morning in my room. I don't mean to sound morbid but I'm merely trying to get my point across.

For the living, we often take for granted the days that we have. We don't think and process about what we do anymore, we just... do. The cycle of life just goes on without any true significance. Childhood, youth, adulthood, parenthood, all of these are but phases of lives that will eventually lead to the one inescapable doorway - Eternity.
Question is, what are we doing between now, the temporal phases of life, and then, the lasting and infinite phase of Eternity?

Truth is, every second of our lives counts for something. I hold strong to the belief that every person is made to leave a certain legacy behind. Good or bad, big or small, that's besides the point. All of us have the capacity to carve a legacy in the lives of others.

Sad to say, I'm not exactly at the brink of adulthood any longer. I am already an adult. A quarter century old to be precise. Bleh. Hence, I've been thinking of changing the theme of my blog, something I've been meaning to do. So, I was mulling over what's ahead in my life - what's the next phase? Courtship? Parenthood? Neeehhhhh...

And thennnnn in occurred to me... I'm actually standing...

At the brink of Eternity.

I don't know how much more of life I have left in front of me. Eternity is imminent. Every step that I take ahead of me is one that takes me closer to Him. I don't know if I'd ever be a boyfriend, husband, father, grandfather... I don't know. But what I do know is that Eternity awaits me.

He awaits me.

So, between now and then, as I stand at the edge of Eternity, I pray so earnestly that my journey will be one that will leave trails of legacy. It will be one crazy ride, that's for sure. But heck, that's the beauty of it, ain't it? ;)

(Will post up my new header tomorrow!
YES, I made a new header finally!
Woohooo! :)
